Cruise Details

Spend the day exploring one of New England's most unique island destinations with our Star Island Day Vist and Portsmouth Harbor Tour. Your cruise begins in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with a narrated ride through the Piscataqua River and out to the Isles of Shoals. Along the way, you'll hear stories of early explorers, shipwrecks, pirates, and the rich maritime history of the Seacoast.

Once on Star Island, you'll have about 3.75 hours to explore at your own pace. Join an optional guided walking tour or enjoy free time to relax, take photos, or visit landmarks like the Ocenanic Hotel, Gosport Village, the Stone Chapel, and the John Smith Monument. This cruise is ideal for families, groups, and day-trippers looking to experience coastal history, scenic views, and the peaceful beauty of the Isles of Shoals.

Star Island visitor fee is included in the price ticket. No need to print your tickets. We will have the name and the number in your party and will check you off as you board.

This cruise utilizes both our vessels. Outbound portion is on our smaller vessel the Challenger. Inbound is aboard our larger vessel the Thomas Laighton.
